I’m English speaking but living in Quebec for work. I’ve met a gorgeous guy and have gone on a few dates with him, but he speaks almost only French and communication is definitely a problem. If we don’t speak the same language but there’s a spark, is there any hope for us? I’m going to French classes for my job which will help me a bit, but it’s a problem right now. Help!

What are some good conversation questions to ask a pretty girl on a first date? I feel like an idiot if there’s a break in silence and I don’t know what to say. I normally end up looking down at the table or the food in front of my face.

A few weeks ago I broke up with my girlfriend. I sort of had a panic attack and just thought we were moving too fast and everything was happening too soon. She was talking about living together and how we would get married one day and all this. Ever since I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her and think I made a big mistake. She was really mad at me and cried a lot when it all happened and I don’t know what to do now. How can I get her back?

I’m a take charge kind of girl and have no problem approaching guys. I’ve been told in the past (by someone I’m obviously no longer dating) that I can be a little intimidating and that guys think it’s a turn off. I don’t want to change for a guy, especially one I haven’t even met, but also don’t want to scare guys off. What should I do?

Hey Yuliah! I have a friend who’s great looking, very personable and very single. Why? She’s a little intimidating, like you. And, when I’ve talked to her about it she says exactly what you say, “I don’t want to change for a guy.” I shoot back, “So you won’t expect him to change for you either, not even a little?” She’s less than positive about that.

How soon after first date should I expect a guy to send me a text? I’ve had guys text me right after saying they had a good time and others go days before sending me even a hello. Should I say something at the end of each date to make sure they’ll contact me?

I’ve seen my boyfriend’s phone receive a few texts from his ex recently. My boyfriend was going through a tough time with his dad and I think he might’ve asked his ex for advice. Why would he go to her for counselling? They dated a long time ago and I’ve been with him for 2 years. It’s hurtful to think I’m not giving him enough support or that his ex is giving him more than I can. Should I confront him about it?

I’m about to give up on dating altogether. For some reason, everything seems to go really well on the first date but there have been 5 dates in a row now that just never call me back. I’ve thought it over a million times and can’t think of what I’m doing wrong. The conversation is good, I think the guy seems interested, but then I never hear anything after that. It’s getting depressing at this point.

A woman from LA saw my profile picture where I was fishing and thought we could start an online relationship. Isn’t that a bit far to think it’s even worth keeping in touch? I’ve never been to LA and I don’t think it’s smart to just travel and see a stranger. Should I keep in touch?

I’m a fashionista by day and a homebody by night. I like to observe people’s styles and have found myself liking a certain style for men. If I really like the man I’m dating but don’t like his personal style, what’s your advice for me making a suggestion without being critical?

Lavalife was one of the earliest online dating sites to come onto the scene. Over the years, Lavalife has continued to honor its commitment to its members by providing them with the best tools to find their next relationship.
